My Windows image was stored on my 4tb external hard drive. When I reinstalled the image, my external hard drive was also re-formatted. I think I had a spare hard drive connected when I created the image. It just had several bad Linux partitions, so that is what my 4tb hard drive has now.

The other subdirectories are named “FileHistory,” “OFFICEPC,” “Seagate Dashboard 2.0,” “Start-Here-Mac.app,” and “WindowsImageBackup.” Don't know about if OfficePC and Start-Here-Mac are important to you. The other 3 seem to be backups and if you are sure you don't need those old backups from other program, be free to delete.

I bought a new 2TB Seagate Expansion Drive and found several files such as. StartHereMac.app (it's a folder) StartHereWin.exe. (just a file with this name?) AUTORUN.INF.VolumeIcon.icns.VolumeIcon.ico. What are these used for and can i safely delete them? Reinstalled the Seagate GoFlex Drive Settings package that shipped with the drive. (A 2TB Firewire 800 Model) and rebooted/restarted the iMac. The drive and Time Machine are working fine now. 希捷（SEAGATE）铭系列移动硬盘1t2t4t5t USB3.0接口 2.5英寸 苹果MAC兼容 大师合作81176102 2TB 3 希捷（SEAGATE） 移动硬盘1t/2t/4t/5t 铭 USB3.0 2.5英寸 兼容苹果PS4 2020旗舰级 粉色 1TB.
I followed the Testdisk step by step, and I found my files. I did Analyse and found my partition and files, so I set it to P and did a write. I left the lba partition the way it was, because I thought it might contain the partition tables? I don't know, but this did not change the problem. I could still see my files in testdisk, but I couldn't access anything on the hard drive (it was still listed as raw). I'll paste portions of the log. If you want the whole thing I will post it, but I did a lot of back and forth (checking my files over and over and re-running quick search etc), which made the log pages long.

This did not fix the problem, so after finding other similar problems, and after I made sure I could still see my files I did a TestDisk, Advanced, Boot, RebuildBS, write.
